Sounds good. However, I wonder how many of you use the "slow cooker" liners that came out a couple of years ago. We love them, clean up is Soooooo much easier. Especially for something with cheese in it like this recipe.

TSG I bet it would work... You could always spray the liner with PAM or something.

 

those liners!!

That is a fantastic idea. There are times when the slow cooker insert sits overnight because it has to soak.

We love to make sausage cheese dip in the slow cooker for parties, but it was a terrible mess, esp if you left it on during the party as the cheese dip level would drop.

 

But now it's just pull the bag out and toss it, rinse the cooker and put it away. (as long as no one rips the bag)

 

My worry was the plastic adding flavor, but haven't tasted a thing.
